Useful Hints to Swimmers.

The bathing season commencing
we shall probably hear ola number
of drowning cases, among them be-
ing, as usual, a fair share of expert
swimmers. The principle reason
why good swimmers are so often
drowned when they are accidently
thrown into the water is because
the shock causes them to lose
their presence OF mind. The loss
of presence of mind leads to
paralysis Of body, or to such wild
eXertions as to accelerate drown
ing, instead OF preservation, The
ability to behave wisely in case of
sudden accidents can only be ac-
quired by experience, just as every
thing else has to be acquired. The
theory OF the matter can he taught

Mr.. Randall OH the Surplus

In a letter just published Mr..
Randall renews his suggestion that
the surplus be stopped by abolish
ing the internal revenue taxes on
whiskey and tobacco.
These are "war taxes" he says.
But are they more war taxes than
is 80 per cent. of the existing tariff?
The average duty in 1861 was is
per cent. This was increased to 3G
per cent. by the Tariff Act of 1862,
distinctively as war measure and
to make proper reparation to the
manufacturers, as Mr.. Morrill, said
in introducing the bill, for the in
ternal taxes imposed on them and
long ago repealed. Similarly Thad
Stevens said: 1--WE intended to
impose an additional duty on i'm
ports equal to the tax which had
been put on domestic articles" TO
meet the necessities of the war the
duty was gradually increased un-
til in 1868 it reached the maximum
of 4S.70 per cent. At the height of
the war taxation the tariff produc-
ed S179,OOO,O00 and internal taxes
5000, 100000. In the year just clos
ed the tariff produced $2l7,000,OO0
and internal taxes $119,000,000-an
increase from the first source of
S3S, 100000, a decrease from the
latter of $190,000,000. The average
duty last year was 1856 per cent,
or d times as much as before the
war and within 3.15 per cent. of
the highest war rate.
Mr.. Randall says: Tt has been
the unvarying precedent of DEM
ocratic administration to abolish
the internal revenue taxes just so
soon as the necessities of war had
rendered them unnecessary" This
is Just what congress has done. OF
all the internal taxes only those on
spirits and tobacco remain, while
the tariff still taxes over 1900
articles, and produced last year
more revenue than in any year OF
the war or in any of the first ten
years after it's close. Can Mr.. Ran.
dali find any Democratic precedent
for perpetuating a war tariff of 4j
per cent. ten years after the nee
essity for it has passed ?-N. Y

Table Etiquette in Zanzibar.

Talking of eating reminds me of
the way the operation is performed
by the Arabs. Five of them seat
themselves round large bowl of
rice, surrounded by a skinny fowl,
all being curried. Two seize the
wings with their fingers and two
the legs, and simultaneously tear
ing these off leave the carcass to
the fifth, afterwards taking out the
rice by handfuls, and dextrously
conveying it to the mouth with a
peculiar jerk. One mark of hospi-
tality shown to guests when at the
table consists In the chief rolling
up some rice into u ball in the palm
of his hand and aiming it at his
guests widely distended jaws. On

COrsets and Tight Lacing.

1t has always seemed to us to be
somewhat of satire on the work
of nature that the female form
should be thought to require the
support of a corset in order to make
it graceful. We observe, therefore,
with satisfaction, that ladies, and
even young ladies, are here and
there to be found who have, with
equal courage and good sense, dis
pensed with this necessary article
of dress. Among the Majority who
continue to wear it there are also
signs, though less pronounced, of
the same healthy tendency. Tight
lacing is viewed with much less fa-
vor than formerly. Women, as
well as men are coming to see
that artificial slenderness is no
beauty, and, indeed, the sham and
unreason apparent in figure wan
tenly contracted must create in all
thinking persons a feeling of repug-
nance which effectually prevents
the possibility of admiration. Vic
Tins of this hurtful practice and
grevious error in taste are still,
however, not uncommon. Only a
few days ago an inquest on the
body of an elderly female revealed
the fact that death was due to the
direct consequence of her having
the stays too tightly laced. This
is by no means the first instance in
which the coveted fineness of waist
has been thus dearly purchased
1t is, in fact, impossible that this
custom can but injure health, for
what are it's effects? BY tight Ia
cling, which forces together the elias
tic ribs and narrows the space
within the throaX, free action of the
lungs is obviously rendered imposs-
ible; the liver and heart are dis
placed, and the great blood vessels
uunaturally stretched. The unfor-
tunate worshiper of false ideal
loses with free respiration the due
effect of the most powerful force
which aids the heart in driving its
blood through the body-the force
of thoracic suction. Displacement
of the heart, moreover, can only re-
suit in palpitation, or severer car
die troubles. Thus it comes to pass
that every organ and tissue is un-
der-nourished, digestion is little
more than a meaningless term, and
healthy life in any part of the body
Is unknown. This may seem to be
forcible language, but it is never
theless the clothing Of facts which
it does not merely envelop, but in
many cases fits with strictness
not incompatible to the firm en-
brace of the most fashionably
straight corset.

A New Swindling Game.

About a month ago slick swind-
Ter called at the home of Mr.. James
Williams, and solicited him to be-
come agent for what he called a
"Harrow Attachment to Plows,"
offered to give Mr.. Williams one of
the attachments if he would intro
duce it and recommend it to his
neighbors. After some hesitation
Mr.. Williams agreed to the propo-
sition. After the schemer had made
his little speech on the merits of
the article and was about to leave
he politely requested Mr.. Williams
to- write his address on postal
card, which was done. Mr.. w. had
read of printed contracts, but had
never heard of a postal being used
for that purpose. He afterwards
learned that he had signed a con-
tract for 80 attachments.
On Friday last two men called
at the home of Mr.. Williams, one
representing himself as an attor-
ney from Cleveland, and collector
for the Buckeye Harrow Co., and
stated that his partner was the
Sheriff of Franklin county, who
had been brought along in the event
that his services might be needed.
The bogus attorney informed Mr..
Williams that the attachments had
been shipped to him and were in
the station at Pickerington, and
that the one promised him was also
among the lot. Mr.. Williams de-
MED having ordered anything of
of the kind, when the postal card
was produced. 1t called for 80 har-
rows. BY threats and bulldozing
Mr.. Williams was finally frighten-
ed into giving his note for $3.50.
Williams then requested the con-
tract. and it was given him after
the name had been torn off. The
scamps then left and stated that
they were going to Lancaster and
then to Circleville.
